Q: My ex want to call the police on me for withholding mail,but I'm out out town with no access to my mailbox.
P. Justin Thrailkill's answer
Why can't he go get it? He should probably have his work send his check to his address. You cannot open his mail, but it's not your job to be his courier.

Aubrey Claudius Galloway's answer
It depends on the jurisdiction, but pleading guilty could affect immigration status and any judge will tell this to a defendant prior to a plea. In general, these cases are criminal if the person has a “guilty mind” meaning that they knew the license and our registration was expired; if they had no knowledge it is the VTL509 violation which is not a criminal offense.

Brian K. McHugh's answer
The short answer is yes. Legally the DA's ability to file a criminal case against a witness to a crime is not effected by the outcome of the case in which the person was a witness. However, there may be evidentiary or proof problems that make charging the witness difficult or impossible.

P. Justin Thrailkill's answer
First, you need to pull your criminal background so that you know what is out there. Start in Georgia, if you are here, then go to California and pull that one. If there is anything on it, you need to speak with an attorney in the state showing something in your background about whether expungement of your arrest is an option. This depends on the disposition of the case as well as the respective state's law. Good luck to you.

Nancy J. Wallace's answer
she doesn't get paid. THAT is the price of letting a client settle by way of Stipulations With Request For Award. the attorney gets to work for free. You should have been visiting the treating physician every 6 months since being released. if you don't use your 'future' medical care it's really tough to get it re-established. If you had been visiting the treater every 6 months or every 9 months, you could walk in without reaching the adjuster again.

Andrew Bennett's answer
The requirement is based on where your domiciled, not moved. If you are merely going to college in IN but still a resident in AZ and pay AZ income tax then your AZ license is sufficient. However, if you no longer have ties to AZ and would be required to file taxes in IN then you must change your license within the required time frame.

That is a complicated area of law, the person needs to consult with an immigration attorney. An OWI is considered a crime of moral turpitude and could have deportation consequences.
